by Lisa Hallahan from A Lovely Calling and reposted at Whole Magazine - Confessions of a Lusting Christian GirlEditor's note: Whoa! Talk about blaming and shaming! Claiming that thinking sexual thoughts before marriage will ruin or defile your future marriage is so wrong. It's human nature to have feelings and thoughts that don't always line up the way you want and this is veering too close to thought crimes. Why all the fear of thoughts and projecting sin on to others? … [Read more...]

by Aletha cross posted from her blog Yllom Mormonpages 59-61Last post, we talked about foreplay and, as Michael calls it, the "2 minute pop". We also re-touched on how premarital sex hurts the woman because she is the sensitive, weaker vessel. Today we get to talk more about premarital sex, and women climaxing. Get ready. Text is in purple … [Read more...]

by Biblical Gender Roles from BiblicalGenderRoles.com - 8 Steps to Confront Your Wife's Sexual RefusalEditor's note: Again this is all about forcing compliance from someone who obviously has reasons not to have sex with her husband. Put out or else. I bought you. You owe me. All horrible messages without adding in the bible verses written by a confirmed bachelor Paul. Taking sex advice from Paul is like listening to a deaf person explain why you shouldn't listen to a certain type of music. … [Read more...]

by Biblical Gender Roles at BiblicalGenderRoles.com - 8 Steps To Confront Your Wife's Sexual RefusalEditor's note: Checking in again with the guy that insists that he is owed sex by his wife because once you buy the cow you should be drinking milk anytime you want it. He doesn't get sexual consent, he doesn't understand that women are not consumable objects. This is the kind of screwed up thinking in Quiverfull and Evangelical Christianity that leads to rape and other sexual crimes. Men are not 'owed' sex ever! … [Read more...]

by Aletha cross posted from her blog Yllom Mormon(Trigger warning for that awful honeymoon story of crabs and abuse)*I plan on posting these reviews on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. It's a lot at once, but reading this is like walking through mud. Mud that gets stuck in my head and makes me question my marriage. So I'm trying to get through this as quickly as possible.Pages 15-20 … [Read more...]

by Mel cross posted from her blog When Cows and Kids CollideAlrighty. Let's start with a quick refresher course from the previous post:Physical sex refers to which secondary sex characteristics a person has. The binary nature of the system creates problems when someone has a reproductive system that is not fully female or male. Genetic sex refers to the compliment of sex chromosomes (X and Y) present in a person. Usually, a someone with a female physical sex is XX and a male physical sex is XY - but this cannot be determined without medical testing AND is not always true. Our sexual characteristics are determined by hormonal cascades during early embryonic development. These … [Read more...]

by Samantha Field cross posted from her blog Defeating The Dragons This is the last post on the book, and I find myself wondering if I can enthusiastically endorse it. It’s certainly different than every other Christian marriage-advice book I’ve ever read, and I’ve deeply appreciated those differences. It’s straightforward, honest, authentic, all things I appreciate, but at times it got a little boring because they frequently dipped into pretty conservative Christian ideas about the role and purpose of marriage, and I think they skirted more difficult questions or avoided them entirely. They didn’t examine problems like we’re just not happy anymore, or we want completely different things in … [Read more...]

by Mel cross posted from her blog When Cows and Kids CollideDue to a crazy-busy schedule, I've fallen off my pace of blogging Preparing to be a Help Meet because typing in the quotes from the book is surprisingly time-consuming. In lieu, I offer my most choice selections from the blog with the same name.What levels of hell have Mike and Debi wrought? Apparently they've moved beyond beating the shit out of children and started messing with an entire generation's sexual life.... … [Read more...]

by Samantha Field cross posted from her blog Defeating The Dragons [note: links may include NSFW material] There are many amazing resources out there for people who think they might be kinky or into BDSM, and I’ll link to some at the bottom of this post. However, if you’re anything like me … a lot of what’s out there seems conflicting and confusing, and because I grew up on the rather strict end of purity culture I didn’t have the tools to start sorting any of it out. I didn’t know anything about sex, and many of us don’t. Someone I met in college thought that semen was green because of a joke they’d heard about grass stains, and I thought that “going through the back door” meant doggy. An … [Read more...]

Vyckie Garrison started No Longer Quivering to tell the story of her “escape” from the Quiverfull movement.

Over time, NLQ has developed into a valuable resource of information regarding the deceptions and dangers of the Quiverfull philosophy and lifestyle. Several more former QF adherents are now contributing their stories to NLQ and our collective voice makes these Quiverfull warnings impossible to dismiss or ignore.

NLQ is a gathering place for women escaping and recovering from spiritual abuse.
